Want your Instagram photo to get more likes? Click images with one dominant color and preferably blue at that, suggests research from marketing and analytics firm Curalate, which looked at a range of images on Instagram to come up with a few data points on which pics get more likes.

For instance, we found that images with a single dominant hue performed best, generating 17% more likes than images with multiple dominant colors. This is probably due to the fact that when you're viewing an image just mere inches from your face, the absence of chaos can help you focus. Images with blue as the dominant color generate 24% more likes than images that are red.
